The Chancellor Manuscript

A Novel

De: Robert Ludlum

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

“[The Chancellor Manuscript] exerts a riveting appeal, as it seems to justify our worst nightmares of what really goes on in the so-called intelligence community in Washington.”—The New York Times Book Review

Did J. Edgar Hoover die a natural death? Or was he murdered? When a group of high-minded and high-placed intellectuals known as Inver Brass detect a monstrous threat to the country in Hoover’s unethical use of his scandal-ridden private files, they decide to do away with him—quietly, efficiently, with no hint of impropriety. Then bestselling thriller writer Peter Chancellor stumbles onto information that makes his previous books look like harmless fairy tales. Now Chancellor and Inver Brass are on a deadly collision course, spiraling across the globe in an ever-widening arc of violence and terror. All roads lead to a showdown that will rip the nation’s capital apart—leaving only one damning document to survive.

Ludlum is Terrific

It had been awhile since reading a Ludlum novel. Listening to this book reminded me of the great skill and writing style he has. Truly a masterfully written story. A page turner you hate to have end.

A little dated

I used to like these books, but I remember the super convoluted stories and it requires patience.

page-turner par excellence

not just mystery, but much food for thought about the nature of Good and Evil. Well worth the read.

Good listen

I love Ludlem. Read all his books when I was a kid. I really enjoy listening to them now. Though this reader was a little less entertaining than the others

Ludlum is the master sortteller

Ludlum was the ultimate story teller of the last century with plots that are so real today.
